CF can only protect CF files if they web accessible.
If you request a PDF file for example, CF is never involve din this process.
The best solution is to use server side security to password protect folder

If you are on APACHE then simply use .htaccess for this.

The only way to reliably do this is to make it so the files' directory is
not accessible via HTTP. The two most common ways to do this are:
- put directory above / outside the webroot
- tell IIS / Apache / webserver to disregard directory (if it's under /
inside webroot)

Did you pick up the missing commas between the cfparams? They need commas,
just like the field list.
That would give a mismatched column count error.

the problem with serving files using CF is that you are putting
considerable extra load onto CF, as it has to load the load into memory and
then serve it. If its a busy site serving lots of files then this may well
overload your cfserver, especially if your on shared hosting.

You do know your query names don't match up..

simply put sensitive files outside the web root and have CF pull them as
needed - no spider is going to index inaccessible files ;-)
my 2 cents in the 20 seconds I thought about this HTH ;-)

On Fri,
I have ColdFusion 10 running on Windows Server 2008R2, using IIS7.5 as web
server. I have an intranet application configured to use Windows
Authentication with NTLM, which works very well. However, I have an issue with
executing scheduled tasks. The files are part of this same application,
Digging a little more into IIS (by the way, I Googled IIS 7.5 stuff for a while
before my initial post) - I checked the Authorization Rules for the
subdirectory in question. I changed the Allow rule to include All anonymous
users instead of All users. Didn't help.

Try different browser and see if it still works, you may be using cached
login which is why it seems to work in browser.
Do you have cf running under a custom user?

Russ,
Cached login might be right. I just tried the URL in Firefox, and was prompted
to login. I think the security of the site is superseding the security I am
trying to set on the subdirectory. Maybe I'll create a special site on this
server just for scheduled tasks, with anonymous

That won't help with CFHTTP requests. CF doesn't use service account
credentials for HTTP authentication, and
Looks like you haven't got that subdir set to anon access properly. Chech
the authentication settings on another site for comparison to see what it
should be.
It needs to run under the iis_iusr account.
Or you could just put login details in the scheduled task.

Hello again to all.
I need a way to extract text from word, excel, text, pdf, and ppt files
with Coldfusion, as the files are each submitted via a form. The output
does not have to be particularly pretty or nicely formatted -- just plain
text that can be stored and searched later.
Any ideas?
Check out the CFFILE tag. That offers this type of functionality.

Hi Bruce. Thanks for the reply.

For word, did you add the attribute in cffile action=readbinary?
For excel, there is a cfspreadsheet tag that will read a spreadsheet and you
can put a query attribute on it and output the result.
For PDF's, there is a cfpdf tag that you can use.
